Collaborative Robotics is a team of innovators defining the future of robot interaction. Real-World Applicability. Predictable Behaviors. Brilliant Hardware. Backed by General Catalyst.
About the role
Architect the end-to-end build sequence and work instructions for the production line, starting from a hardware design with no prior production history. Serve as the primary link between the build floor and hardware design, flagging hard-to-build decisions and driving specific alternatives to closure.
What they're looking for
- 9+ years in manufacturing/process/production engineering for electromechanical hardware (robotics, consumer electronics, medical devices, automotive, or similar)
- Direct experience standing up a new production line or NPI (new product introduction) process, ideally at low-to-mid volume with active product iteration
- Demonstrated fixture/jig design judgment, knowing what to design and what to buy
- Fluency with DFM/DFA principles and influencing engineering design decisions
- Experience with data analysis and metrics for production lines
- Highly motivated teammate with excellent oral and written communication skills
More about this role
Are you passionate about architecting high-performing production lines for the next generation of Physical AI? Collaborative Robotics is looking for a Staff Manufacturing Engineer, Production Systems to design and launch the in-house production system for our robots.
You will own the production line from a blank sheet through stable, repeatable operation. That includes architecting the manufacturing process, ideating on fixtures and tools, establishing process controls, identifying bottlenecks, and working directly with hardware engineers and build technicians to improve how the robot is designed and assembled.
You will have meaningful ownership, limited existing infrastructure, and the support to build a production system that can grow with the company.
Join us to reimagine the future of human-robot interaction.
Collaborative Robotics is a team of innovators and builders redefining the future of human-robot interaction. We are working to realize a world where robots are a trusted extension of your surroundings. They work, adapt, and react around you. Not the other way around.
This role is located onsite at our Santa Clara, CA headquarters.
